The only ones I haven't seen are evil dead and the godfather trilogy. I'm thinking about getting the godfather set on DVD for my mum's birthday, she likes them and it'll be a chance for me to finally see these highly rated films.

I doubt I'll be watching wvil dead anytime soon though, I didn't think much of the sequel even though I laughed all the way through it.

errm... bunch of people wind up in cottage in forest, awake the dead and start dying off.

Ash(played by Bruce Campbell), main character in both, has no experience of this in 2nd movie.

why?

BECAUSE IT IS A REMAKE!!!!

I just got an email saying I can't pick the trilogy as my GAD prize because they're out of stock and probably won't be getting any more... Curse that other kid who picked it as his prize before me!

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Almost all sequels have the same set of cirumstances, and a lot have the same main character. So are ALL sequels remakes? I think not, eediot

How do you explain theat Bruce Campbell has no recollection of being in woods before and losing his girlfriend to a fiendish death? Has no recollection of waking the dead(ites) and no recollection of ANYTHING ELSE which happens in the first movie?

The film is class though.

"someone's in my fruit cellar... someone with a fresh sooooouuuuul!!"

He lost his memory at the end of Evil Dead 1, when he was attacked at the end, simple as that

True It's not really a remake. However it's not really a sequel either. Evil Dead 2 just pretends that the first film didn't exist (which is just as well because it is a bit cr@p).

I'd definatley say Evil Dead 2 was more of a remake than a sequel, they took the best bits out of evil dead and added a bit of humour and some better effects, and most importantly they made it into a damn good film.

I'm sure Teenwolf and Teenwolf 2 must belong on that list...

I had to get my copy of Teenwolf imported from HMV in Australia... the only place in the world that had a dusty copy in the corner of a warehouse. I'd been searching for nearly 2 years to get it. It eventually cost me a little over £20... and 2 days after it arrived, it was on channel 5. Irk.

Just to clear the Evil Dead 2 debate - straight from the IMDB

"Often considered to be a remake of the first Evil Dead, however this is not accurate. The rights to show scenes from the original could not be obtained to re-cap what happened, so they recreated the beginning to explain how Ash got to the cabin, a headless Linda, etc."

So there ya go!

I taped dawn of the dead when it came on channel 5, although when i went to watch it, it turned out to be a porno.
